koa-lusca

Web application security middleware for koa.

Fork from lusca, krakenjs/lusca#26.

Usage

var koa = require('koa');
var lusca = require('koa-lusca');
var app = koa();
 
app.use(lusca({
  csrf: true,
  csp: { /* ... */},
  xframe: 'SAMEORIGIN',
  p3p: 'ABCDEF',
  hsts: { maxAge: 31536000, includeSubDomains: true },
  xssProtection: true
}));

Setting any value to false will disable it. Alternately, you can opt into methods one by one:

app.use(lusca.csrf());
app.use(lusca.csp({/* ... */}));
app.use(lusca.xframe({ value: 'SAMEORIGIN' }));
app.use(lusca.p3p({ value: 'ABCDEF' }));
app.use(lusca.hsts({ maxAge: 31536000 });
app.use(lusca.xssProtection();
